Mexico 2-0 Wales

Two goals from Aldo De Nigris handed Chris Coleman a second successive defeat as the Wales manager as his side were well beaten by Mexico in New York on Sunday.

Wales were always likely to be up against it without Gareth Bale and Joe Ledley, and they struggled with the humidity and a lifeless pitch at the MetLife Stadium, failing to force a save from Jesus Corona.

The Monterrey striker De Nigris scored the opener in the 43rd minute as he headed home from inside the six-yard box and added a second with a chested finish a minute before the final whistle.

It could have been worse for Wales as Jason Brown made a series of fine saves to deny the excellent Giovani Dos Santos, Edgar Andrade and Severo Meza.

But to Wales's credit they refused to buckle under the almost constant barrage of Mexican pressure with Brown, Joe Allen and Ashley Williams impressing in adversity.

In the opening stages the Mexico midfielder Andrade spurned a great opportunity when he was played in by Jesus Navala, blazing over from close range as Brown came out.

Wales's first effort on Corona's goal arrived after 25 minutes but Hal Robson-Kanu could not make a meaningful connection on Craig Bellamy's cross as his header glanced wide. Steve Morison then failed to control Bellamy's intelligent cutback as Wales finally showed an attacking threat.

But Mexico still looked the more likely to find an opening and Andrade, whose sharp movement from wide areas was causing major problems, again fired over before Dos Santos shot just wide of the near post after another teasing run.

Mexico got the lead their dominance deserved two minutes before the break, as Meza's overlapping run allowed him to deliver a perfectly-judged cross that beat Chris Gunter for De Nigris to nod home.

The goal was a hammer blow to Wales, and Mexico started the second half intent on adding to their lead. Meza forced Brown into a low save before the goalkeeper made a brilliant stop from a Dos Santos header, while Héctor Moreno came within inches of tapping home captain Francisco Rodriguez's header across the face of goal.

Coleman made a triple substitution on the hour as Sam Vokes, Simon Church and Sam Ricketts replaced Morison, Robson-Kanu and the injured Adam Matthews respectively. And it almost paid dividends as Church linked well with Bellamy, with the Liverpool striker firing narrowly over the crossbar.

De Nigris sealed the win in the 89th minute as he intelligently chested home from Andrade's whipped delivery from the left. Read More
